Team

Jordi Ramot

CEO

Software Engineer specialized in the geospatial interoperability field. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Computer Science from Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.

In 2006 I started to work on Wikiloc in my spare time and now we're a growing community of millions of outdoor enthusiasts sharing trails in 190+ countries.

On the personal side I'm a vegetarian and when not in the office I like to be in the outdoors trail running, back-country skiing or mountain biking.

Montserrat Jordi

COO

I hold a Master's degree in Engineering Management, a bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering and I'm a certified Quality Auditor.

Before joining Wikiloc I was in charge to improve products, processes and costs as a Productivity Manager in the automotive sector and as an Industrial Manager in the industry sector. I enjoy working with teams, having goals and be creative solving challenges.

I like to ride a mountain bike and the snow sports, music and clay modelling.

Happy trails!

Jose Molina

Lead Engineer

Since 2005, my career has always been related to GPS, digital maps and its applications. Before joining Wikiloc, I was part of the Geographic Information Service and Remote Sensing (SIGTE) in the UdG, developing GeoWeb projects using open source technologies, spatial databases and OGC standards.

I've also developed GPS enabled mobile apps for feature phones, location-based services (LBS) and worked as a lecturer of Spatial Databases at the Master UNIGIS.

Pau Dominkovics

Mobile Engineer

The first computer that came into my home was a x286 and since then I started to love programming so much that I always felt it was only a hobby.
Maybe that's why I studied computer science as a second career.

With the arrival of smart-phones my fun multiplied with its possibilities. My first serious test was "Board Games" for Android & iOS and it was a surprising success.

Wikiloc allows me to combine this passion with another great passion, the outdoor activities. Being an user and a creator of the same product is a great pleasure and enriching.

Roger Tallada

Mobile Engineer

Software engineer with a Diploma in Computer Software from the Informatics University of Barcelona. I’m coming back to the software insustry after working as an illustrator for some years, I previously worked as an analyst / developer in a magazine publishing company.

With the appearance of the iPhone and the new wave of touch devices I became involved in software development again by working on personal projects. This allowed me to become familiar with the iOS development environment. I'm having a blast being a full time developer once more and working on apps aimed at users.

Another one of my passions is running, trail running in particular. Working at Wikiloc allows me to mix two of my favorite things, development and outdoor activities.

Ivan Bianchi

Platform Engineer

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and about to finish the Master’s degree in Computer Engineering at Universitat de Girona

I'm a big-data enthusiast and nowadays I am focused on scalable and highly available tools such as Apache Cassandra and graph databases like TitanDB.

Computer science has become a passion and at Wikiloc I have the perfect place to overcome daily challenges and expanding my skills even with side projects like perfecting email delivery and learning how to deal with large amounts of data in new interesting databases.

Kaixi Luo

Platform Engineer

Software engineer with a degree in Computer Engineering from University of Girona. Since I was little, I've always had a passion for Computer Science.

I'm a big systems engineering nerd, having worked with Apache Mesos, Docker and OpenStack on various projects. Nowadays, I obsess over web performance and keeping everything running smoothly.

Wikiloc allows me to work with systems with large amounts of users and traffic where every little change has a big and immediate impact.

Jordi Casadevall

Platform Engineer

Software engineer with a degree in Computer Engineering from University of Girona.

Computer science has fascinated me since I was young. This has led me to work on a wide range of projects of various topics that have expanded my horizons and knowledge.

From being part of a research group specialized in network management to working on several videogame projects, building solutions in a digital innovation consultancy and co-founding a startup.

Being part of the Wikiloc’s team gives me the opportunity to work on a successful project where my work arrives to a large community. At the same time, it allows me to continue learning, designing and exploring new technologies to improve my knowledge and professional career.

Berta Nicolazzi

Communications

My professional career started in the Hospitality Industry. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Hotel Management from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and enjoyed very much working on Hotel Online Marketing & e-Commerce.

My five languages led me to be open-minded, empathic listener and enthusiastic communicator. I love new projects. Team spirit is the key to success.

I’m an outdoor and mountain passionate, a Pyrenees lover, and I strongly believe that Wikiloc has improved my life, adding quality to my leisure time. I feel now personally committed to share this community within the whole World.

Advisors

Manuel Roca

Happy entrepreneur in both personal and professional life. In the professional side I co-founded atrapalo.com 13 years ago in which I'm the CEO of the company. I also co-founded with my wife a social crowd-funding project, miaportacion.org, to help people under risk of being socially excluded with their basic needs.

But my biggest project is my BIG family with 7 children to whom I teach values like effort, perseverance, initiative, spirit of service that are so valuables for every aspect of life either personally or professionally although I learn much more from them.

Apart from that I'm a passionate of cycling, skiing and back-country skiing.
